BobPOUND! Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 And the hits keep on coming.. Good pickup.. BIG DUDE!! https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2019/03/browns-signing-te-demetrius-harris-to-a-2-year-deal-former-chiefs-fa.html
domcucch1994 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Great pickup! Big target who can block, and has ties to Dorsey.
Guest Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Former basketball player has learned the NFL ropes as a blocker, but I'm sure Baker will love that 6'7 Height and athleticism as a receiver. Good YPC. Z
domcucch1994 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 So with all of the additions, and subtractions... Where does Cleveland go from here? LB/DB/OL/S are the biggest needs
BobPOUND! Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Posted March 13, 2019 Hate to say it but I fear Duke Johnson is going to be expendable and is likely already being dangled out there

With Peppers gone we need a punt returner. And who knows how long of a suspension Kareem will get.
hx214 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 The Hunt suspension question mark is the only reason I think Duke won't get dealt..... unless its a good deal. I don't want them to deal him at all..... I still see Billy B turning him into a monster....
Ibleedbrown Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 And now the Fells cut makes sense. Badda bing.
Tour2ma Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Harris??? Meh... Poor ratings across the board at PFF. Overall #44 TE... 7 minutes ago, hx214 said: I don't want them to deal him at all..... I still see Billy B turning him into a monster.... Duke's not quick enough to fit Bill's RB mode.

Duke accelerates nowhere near as fast as White or before him Lewis. And not only is Harris not a #1 receiving TE... he's not a good blocker either... that's what "across the board" means.

Ok maybe I confused Duke’s lateral quickness with acceleration, I still feel he would do very well anywhere there is an accurate and smart QB. He is really just replacing Fells. Maybe that’s why Dorsey was telling Njoku to focus on improving his pass blocking
Nero Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I gotta agree with Tour on this one. I'm not enthusiastic about this one.

I don't think we are done at the position. DeValve not being able to get on the field is a concern, there is more to come here. We've got a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 3 5th's ... gotta be a nice TE prospect in rds 3-5. Pharoah Brown is intriguing as well. The nice thing about hiring from within is Kitchens has a good read on guys like Brown, may be a few diamonds in the rough already on our roster. Zombo

Duke's not quick enough to fit Bill's RB mode. Two bad observations in my opinion. If Harris is our #3 TE (after Joker and Devalve) or even #2...that is all that we would ask of him...to be the primary blocking TE (which others here have commented that that will be his primary role)...Since there are 32 teams in the NFL, meaning that there would be like 96 TEs in the league: #44 for the backup or 3rd string seems pretty acceptable. (where does Devalve rank?) And I think Duke is plenty quick enough to fit BBs RB mode....as quick as Dion Lewis or James White were. But I have interest in Duke "fitting BBs mode"....I want him to fit Freddie Kitchen's RB mode.

Like I said, I am interested what they can do for our offense, not someone else's.

I agree that we should not be jumping up and down about our third string TE. Dorsey clearly thinks he is an upgrade from Fells. That is good enough for me....enthusiasm not necessary.

domcucch1994 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 This signing makes me moist like a betty crocker cake.. GO DORSEY!!

Dorsey has liked this guy since 2013 as a UDfa JD picked up in KC..Welcome Aboard Harris family..
calfoxwc Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 The Browns offense is going to be unstoppable, even at TE. Pay too much attention to Njoku and... Harris is not just a blocking TE. Really smart signing. https://www.chiefs.com/video/patrick-mahomes-hits-demetrius-harris-for-35-yard-gain https://www.chiefs.com/video/demetrius-harris-here-to-make-3rd-downs-go-right https://youtu.be/OoKRx6e7Jug
